Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their places and say: We have heard and we disobey and: Hear, may you not be made to hear! and: Raina, distorting (the word) with their tongues and taunting about religion; and if they had said (instead): We have heard and we obey, and hearken, and unzurna it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief, so they do not believe but a little.
Mereka, dengan cara seperti itu, menginginkan orang lain menganggap maksudnya "undzurnâ" ("sudilah kiranya kamu memperhatikan kami") karena dengan memutar-mutar lidah ketika menyebut "râ'inâ", seolah- olah mereka memang meminta agar diperhatikan. Padahal, sebenarnya, mereka tengah mencela agama dengan mencela Nabi saw., pembawa risalah, sebagai orang yang bodoh ("ru'ûnah": bentuk nomina abstrak [mashdar] dari verba [fi'l] ra'ana yang berarti 'kebodohan').
